I invite you to use my lovely holiday home as your base, to enjoy all that Harlech and the surrounding area has to offer.
This very spacious house is adjacent to farmland and has fabulous views of the mountains.
There are 3 bedrooms, 2 double and 1 with single beds. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with large walk in shower. There is also a family bathroom with a bath.
Cleaning, bed linen and towels are all part of the service; I just ask guests to enjoy the house with care.

A very spacious lounge opens into the large dining/kitchen area, which has patio doors to the garden. Upstairs there are two large double bedrooms and a third with two single beds.
The house is ideal for those with limited mobility. There is a ramp and hand rail to the front door and hand rails are positioned at strategic positions on the stairs and in the bathrooms. The stair lift can be used by prior arrangement.

There’s so much to do in Harlech and the surrounding area but the stand out features are the 13th Century Castle, the Royal St. David’s Golf Club and the Beach. The Wales Coast Path passes yards from the back garden and we are happy to advise you on the best walks in the vicinity.
Other facilities within a short walk include:
* an excellent mini-market that's open from 8am-10pm
* a swimming pool and leisure centre
* numerous cafes and restaurants
Attractions within a short drive include:
* The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway
* Portmeirion Italinate Village

A perfect place to explore the area and close to everything but lovely and quiet to relax in the evenings too. We will hopefully stay here again

Just the warmth and functionality of a house in Wales, with everything you need (and even more) to rest and enjoy a peaceful and wonderful stay in a beautiful place.

Great location, a small residential estate but backing onto fields (hence great views) and within 5-10 mins' walk of a supermarket, beach, leisure centre, health centre, petrol station (2 mins' drive) and Harlech train station, all along the A496 which passes in front of the estate, with the town centre a bit further away but still very walkable. Harlech Castle is also 10 mins' walk away. The house itself was well equipped and tastefully furnished, as well as clean and well stocked thanks to Julie's help, so the emergency supplies we brought weren't needed (milk, tea bags, soap, etc.). The furnishings were high quality and either new or in good condition. We didn't need to use the car during our 4-day stay, we went to Porthmadog by train (20 mins' journey) and the Wales coastal path passes behind the house (although we lost track of it and ended up in a field full of nervous sheep - keep a map handy). We had no mobile phone reception downstairs, although the signal improved (a bit) near the beach and town centre: we'll get PAYG sim cards with a suitable mobile operator next time. The WiFi signal was perfect though, and the availability of Sky TV was a bonus. The well-stocked bird feeders in the garden were another nice touch, they attract a constant stream of birds and we sat watching a woodpecker feeding on one just a few metres from us. We'd definitely like to visit again.

We had a great experience at Harlech and I am particularly glad that we were able to secure Anne's residence for our stay in this beautiful location. We had no problem in finding the house and we were met by Anne's local contact who took us through the house, into every room and explained to us everything that we needed to know. We also had a complimentary pint of milk in the fridge - exactly what we needed after a long drive from London! The house itself is immaculate, well maintained with all amenities that you need whilst on a holiday. All in all, we had a great time and would recommend this property for anyone who wants to visit the Snowdonia area.

Excellent emplacement et séjour sympa

Gill2017-05-18T00:00:00Z

Our visit to Harlech was to celebrate my mother in law's birthday. The house and garden are beautiful - a perfect, peaceful location with fantastic views of the castle from the front and Snowdonia from the back. The house has all the amenities you could wish for, beautifully furnished and decorated, a real home from home. Having a family bathroom plus an ensuite shower room - with a wonderful shower which I wanted to take home with me! - was an added luxury. It was really easy to communicate with Anne who answered all our questions and provided information about the local area, places to visit, eat, etc. There is also a very helpful house manual full of all the information about the house and area. The house is in a perfect location to explore Harlech and is just a 10 minute walk to the beach. Porthmadog, Portmeirion and Criccieth are also within easy distance. If you are visiting North Wales I can thoroughly recommend this holiday home and we will definitely be returning.

Sea View is a self-catering apartment consisting of the first and second floors above a Post Office in a double wide terraced stone building dating back to 1903, with all modern conveniences located in the centre of historic Harlech town & castle.

Although there are cheaper options at the bottom of the steep hill, they require a hard walk up hill or a drive with traffic congestion with only two lanes and difficult parking to reach the shops and the castles and the hikes up the mountains. On clear days, Snowdonia is the most beautiful and serene landscape in the world, but you must plan for rainy days,too! On rainy days (its Wales) you will love seeing the castle, the ocean, the mountains, and the rainbows from the living room, dining room, and two bedrooms with large beds. It is a double wide terraced house with plenty of room. That it is called Sea View is an understatement as it offers more than the other sea views. For half a crown more it is the difference between grandeur and just lodging, like living in a turret of Harlech Castle, but nice and warm and cozy.Sea View is a self-catering apartment consisting of the first and second floors above a Menai Holidays shop in a double wide terraced stone building dating back to 1903, with all modern conveniences. Being located in the centre of historic Harlech town in upper Harlech, it will seem as if you are staying in one of the turrets of the 13th century Edwardian Harlech Castle! All of Harlech's amenities are at your doorstep, including a Spar market, tea rooms, sweet shop, pubs and restaurants. Since the Arriva train stops at Harlech, it is even possible to have a complete holiday without a car.Being in the Snowdonia National Park there are many hiking trails that begin in Harlech and go up to megalithic stone circles, cairns, and hillforts with sheep everywhere! Harlech beach is just a short walk away with a sandy beach that stretches for miles. The St. David's golf course is right out the window and close by is a train station south to Barmouth and London and north to Porthmadog and Pwllheli. With stunning sea, mountain, and castle views, this Harlech self-catering apartment with central heating and an electric fireplace is in a lovely location to just stay inside any time of the year or venture out to shop, hike, swim at the beach (30 minute walk), golf, dine, or attend the theater (10 minute walk). Given the famous Welsh rain, you will be glad to be warm inside and, though it might rain all day, you are almost guaranteed to see a spectacular sunset every evening followed by the illuminated night castle.On the first floor of this Harlech holiday let is a kitchen and a dining room, which can seat everyone in your party, and a full bathroom. The sitting room, which has leather sofas with leg-rests and two swivel chairs in the bay window, is where the spectacular views described above can be seen and, in conjunction with the snug room which has a piano, there is provided a comfortable sitting area for 10, with the snug room being perfect for children.On the second floor this Harlech self-catering apartment are five bedrooms and a full bathroom with bidet. Two of these bedrooms have a the super-king and king bed facing all the spectacular views. The other three bedrooms welcome the sunrise over the tops of the houses in the town having a king bed with shares space with the washer and dryer with its own sink, a double bed, and a room with two full size bunk beds.The small enclosed front courtyard at the back entrance at this Snowdonia self-catering apartment offers a place to relax next to the spacious garden area with the view of the majestic castle turrets, or why not take a picnic lunch and sit in the courtyard of the castle, just a few steps away!Roadside parking (limited to one hour 9am - 6pm) plus two public car parks 4 mins walk (£1 ph 8am - 6.30pm). Free place to park is under the castle and a short walk up the hill if there are a few cars in the party.

Harlech is a friendly town and safe. You will be glad to be in the middle of this small town, leaving your car in safety in the parking lots.

Host made us feel very welcome. Great location for walking. Situated in a quaint, quiet town. We had a lovely trip. Thank you.

Conor2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

We attended a nearby Music Festival and Dylans home was the perfect retreat to allow an easy commute and rest for our weary bones. The views from his home are stunning and there is plenty of space to cater for a range of persons, whether that be a large or small group of family or friends. Parking wasn't a problem for us, but it is a challenge initially, until you get your barings. The surrounding area is very nice and the locals are helpful and friendly. Hope to be back.

Ronan2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

Seaview house is absolutely breathtaking! The pictures don't do justice to the views that will greet you once you are in the lounge! Dylan was super great and easy to get in contact with! Cannot recommend this house enough! PROS close to everything (Spar, pizza, Indian and chinese takeaway) local ice cream shop near the castle (about less than 5 mins walk) HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Beach (which was absolutely gorgeous, about 20-30min walk or 10min drive) plenty of room (nice and spacious) CONS wifi was a bit slow the nearest free parking is at the bottom of a really steep hill just under the castle, otherwise its £7.50 per day

Stayed with 7 of us, easily enough room and beds were comfy. Enough hot water after being out walking which is always a bonus. As described beautiful view of the castle. Lovely to sit and watch of an evening.

Zoe2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Had a lovely stay here. Huge place, immaculately clean. Comfortable beds, good showers and great location. Beautiful views od the castle and beach from the sitting room too. Ideal place to stay when climbing snowdon, and lots of other attractions a short ride away, we visited waterfalls, and portmerion. Ideal for big groups or families and value for money. Thank you

20 Mins walk down to a long sandy beach 8 miles long. Stunning surroundings, perfect position, probably one of the most breathtaking views in the world. Sea, mountains, outstanding views of Cardigan Bay.Set in the renowned World Heritage Site.
Travel guide "Lonely Planet" (2017) named this area the fourth best regions to visit in the world.
Theatre 10 mins walk.
A relaxed retreat like contemporary experience at Gorffwysfa, one of those places where you find yourself in the heart of Harlech.

The Trip
We have only just opened as a guest house Mid March 2017.Cover photo is taken from garden here. It overlooks Royal St Davids Golf course which is a 5 minute walk from here down the hill . If it's privacy you seek then you are welcome to use our spectacular back garden, as a retreat to roam , with sounds of its little cascading waterfall, magnolia tree, roses,waterlillies,sea & mountain views and the Llyn peninsula and of course the world heritage site- Harlech Castle.
You can find yourself a sun lounger, soaking up sea views & sunsets to die for. I have paintings round the house from London & Welsh gallery exhibitions .Flat screen TV in bedroom & tea facilities. Afternoon teas and restaurants at a stones throw & Harlech Theatre 10 minute walk away. St Davids famous golf course is just down the hill from here on the way to the beach.

Harlech has a spectacular coastline, dominated by the castle, a world heritage site perched on top of a rock and built in the late 13th century by Edward I, King of England. In bygone days it is probable that the base of the rock was lapped by the sea but today the sea has receded leaving beautiful sand dunes in between, home to the Royal St David's Golf Club (one of the premier golf links in Wales). Being in the Snowdonia National Park it has the most incredible views over mountains to the north, not only that but North Wales was the only UK destination and the 4th highest in the world nominated by travel specialist Lonely Planet, which each year ranks the top 10 cities, countries and regions from around the world.
Many fantastic tea rooms at your doorstep we could recommend, restaurants and the splendid Harlech theatre, only a 10 minute walk or a 2 minute drive, often showing the latest digital films and live shows.
Portmeirion is only a 15 minute drive from here and you may be able to see it from here. Portmeririon was created by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis from 1925 to 1976. He wanted to show how a naturally beautiful site could be developed without spoiling it.
Aside from its iconic architecture, scenic surroundings and vast woodland gardens, Portmeirion is home to hip hotels, a huddle of historic cottages, a spa and award winning restuarants, its unique village with free walking and train tours.
There are steam railway rides from Portmaddock and many other attractions, like the salt caves

Catherines place was fantastic, the location is amazing and the photos don't do the views justice! You really couldn't ask from more and I thought, a perfect AirBnB!! Thanks Catherine, I'd recommend your place wholeheartedly!!!

nice view of castle. directions not very clear and parking difficult to find unless you are lucky

Kristin2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

Catherine and Tony are friendly and welcoming. The house is beautiful and the view stunning. Everything is spotless. Definitely recommend

Luisa2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Lovely clean airy room, and beautiful home, and the most amazing views from the back garden, especially the sunsets. Good location in Harlech and walking distance from the Castle and restaurants. The hosts Catherine and Tony were very welcoming and friendly whilst also giving us our own space. Would definitely recommend.

Julia2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved our stay. Catherine and Tony's house is beautiful and the view/location has to be seen to be believed! Friendly hosts and we were made to feel very welcome. Catherine's artwork is as beautiful as the view and I liked meeting their shy cats too :) Amazing Air b&b.

We stayed at this lovely cottage to attend an event at nearby Portmierion and enjoy the beautiful countryside and stunning coastline of North Wales. There were eight adults in our party and there was more than enough space for all of us. We spent most time in the large well-equipped Kitchen that spilled out onto the garden with fantastic views of the rolling hills and nearby Castle. We also found time to relax in the living room in front of the log fire. I can’t recommend this property enough.

Carl2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

Overall, this property is lovely. It's in a great location; it's quaint, it's been remodeled nicely. The rooms are all well finished, beds comfortable, and provides good space to run around for the family and kids. Decent wifi for a small town. We had a couple personal preference matters that I'll share just for future travelers... First, there were quite a few bugs, mainly spiders. We spent our first hour or so in the cottage spider hunting to kill no fewer than 25-30 spiders, which my son loved but which my wife and girls hated. To be honest, they spent the whole weekend just a bit uncomfortable thinking that they may encounter another one. Perhaps spiders and bugs are just part of the old home/Welch landscape, but it was quite creepy to my brood of girls. Second, regardless of the recent remodel, the musty, old smell is still prevalent. My wife is kind of odor sensitive, but in this case it bothered my me and my kids a bit as well. It's also obvious that some guest do some heavy cooking in the property because lingering cooking odors are also prevent. Like I said, with those things in mind, the property is as described and provided a nice base for our Welsh explorations.

Kody2017-06-12T00:00:00Z

Such a beautiful cottage, from the moment we walked through the door we felt at home, comfortable and cosy. Being a family of 3 generations there were 7 of us , there was plenty of space, with 2 bathrooms and the 4 bedrooms with comfy beds. The kitchen being upstairs was fabulous with amazing views and where we spent most of our time together! Although we had one evening in front of the log burner! Lesley has thought of absolutely everything and her communication was excellent! We will be back!!

Louise2017-04-10T00:00:00Z

Very nice cottage. Superb location. Good view. Interior exceeded all expectations. Host handled all communication promptly and efficiently. All directions and rules were made very clear.

Art2015-08-04T00:00:00Z

The cottage in Harlech exceeded our expectations. It is spacious, light and bright, with super comfortable beds and linens, plenty of towels, and everything we needed. We cooked most of our meals during our stay and the kitchen was fully supplied - even with salt, oil, seasonings, all the cookware and dishes we needed for our two families. The updated appliances are easy to use and a huge plus. The views are breathtaking - it must be one of the most beautiful places in the world. It was ideally situated to all the places we went to and wanted to see. We loved early morning walks through town for a cup of coffee or to grab something at the little market, while my husband and son walked down to the beach for birding and photos. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. When we ask the kids what they liked best about our ten days in Wales, they all agree it was Harlech!

Nina2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

Thank you Lesley, we had a wonderful stay. My family and I had a 3 day stay at Lesley's beautiful home, the photos really don't do this home justice. An amazing location and all the amenities we needed for a family of 7 we had a really great time. Kind regards, Hayley

Hayley2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

I cannot recommend this beautiful cottage highly enough. Every room is finished to the highest standard and the kitchen / Dining room is absolutely stunning. Lesley could not have been more helpful and informative in the run up to our stay and she had thought of everything - the house was so well equipped and the welcome tea, coffee and biscuits were very much appreciated after our journey to Harlech. Harlech itself is lovely and the views of the stunning garden over the castle and the coast are beautiful. I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage. It surpassed all our expectations and we will definitely be visiting again soon. Many thanks Katie

KATIE2015-09-01T00:00:00Z

A great place to stay, both in Harlech and the cottage. The cottage is excellent - beautiful itself, well laid out and equipped. Everything you need and more for a break away in a lovely part of North Wales.

Absolutely splendid panoramic views across the sea to the Llyn Peninsula and up into the heart of Snowdonia. But house cluttered and needs some refurbishment
I offer veg B&B in a domestic setting so no keys, with a warm welcome.
Harlech is very small famous for its castle which is World Heritage Site open daily. It is an excellent centre for walking and cycling.
Flexible on arrival and departure time 5 pm and 10 am when I can, but occasionally later arrival and early departure times.

Twin room with two single beds and shared bathroom has outstanding views of Cardigan Bay.
Your host is Martin. The house is was adapted for Martin's late wife who was a wheelchair user and so is suitable for some people with disabilities - including a stairlift -, who will be particularly welcome. The other member of our household is Misty, she is a delightful little dog (Papillon).
I'm at a great location inside the Snowdonia National Park for sightseeing, hiking, cycling etc.
** Breakfast and other meals may be provided by arrangement and also use of the kitchen, but please ask when you are booking so that we can agree.
The accommodation is suitable for some wheelchair users, please check if you have any particular requirements.
Please note that the accommodation is dated and that I've only limited experience of providing accommodation. So please bear with me if you have any concerns and do let me know as soon as possible so that we can resolve them. For the same reason I'd rather start with shorter stays (but would be willing to discuss).

The name Harlech is said to come from 'hardd llech' meaning beautiful rock. Whatever the meaning it is a beautiful location with splendid views across Cardigan Bay and up into the heart of Snowdonia - on a fine day at least.
Harlech Castle is on of King Edward I's 'ring of steel' castles around North Wales. It is a recognised World Heritage Site together with the castles at Caernarfon, Beaumaris and Conwy. Well worth a visit. There are also prehistoric sites nearby, which I can show you.

Once staying at Martin's home you will meet friendly people, enjoy a great view and have a rest after a long hike.

Liubov2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Martin was so nice with us. The house is as he explains in the description, old furniture but with great views. Perfect location to visit the North of Wales. Doubtlessly we would come back to this house.

This property is perfect. Spacious, well equipped, modern, clean with great little touches you wont find in most holiday properties. Clare is a great and friendly host and nothing seems too much trouble. Just finished our second family holiday stay and will most likely be back again just year if we can.

Andrew2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Stayed at Clare's place as a base to travel snowdonia. The house was superb! Very clean and luxurious as promised. Has a really great observatory that you can chill out and enjoy the view. Everything u need to make ur stay comfortable is thoughtfully provided. (even the small things) The back garden is a really nice place to be with a view of the hill that the houses Harlech including the castle. There is a good size shop within 10 mins walk with all the stuff u need. And the beach is about 20 to 30 min walk. Harlech castle and the restaurants are within walking distance but u'll have to tackle a very steep hill to get there.

manjula2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

Clare was a wonderful host, she was there to welcome us and provide local information. House was just lovely. Clean and spacious. Very beautiful area. Beaches are not crowded and sandy. Kids loved the ocean water. Castle history if fascinating - Prince of Wales and all. Foggy mountain forests have a mystical quality - almost expect to see trolls and elves. Narrow, steep mountains roads are tough for flat landers, allow time for the last 40 miles of the drive. Great stay.

The house is very well presented and spotlessly clean creating a very good first impression. There was a nice little welcome note in the hall - I arrived quite late. The note about not wearing shoes other than on the ground floor might irritate some but I found that perfectly reasonable and was happy to comply as the stair carpets and carpets upstairs appeared new or nearly new and it's nice that Clare presumably wants them to stay that way. The bathrooms were spotlessly clean and the showers (I was on my own so I actually only used one of them) were decent modern ones that were easy to adjust and gave a good flow of hot water almost instantly. This may seem a minimum expectation but so often I've been confronted with showers that take ages to adjust - almost like trying to tune into a radio station on short wave - and then shower you with tiny pinpricks of cold water. I heard a joke the other day about the first thing people do these days when arriving at a friend's house is to say "What's the wi-fi code?". But this is the 21st century and it's becoming another minimum requirement. The wi-fi here works well with a BT Hub 4. Presumably, fibre optic has yet to arrive at Harlech but, still, it worked well enough for e-mails which is all I wanted it for because most of my time was spent at Royal St David's Golf Club which is only about 8 minutes walk away - useful if you want to have a few drinks at the 19th. All in all a very pleasant stay in a house that is deceptively large with a decent sized conservatory off the dining area at the rear and a well-equipped modern kitchen. There's a chest freezer in the garage which is important if you want to take a chiller box on a picnic and need to freeze your oil-filled thingies overnight to pop into the chiller box in the morning. It must surely be the best self catering facility in Harlech and, probably, for some miles around.

As a large group of railway enthusiasts, we wanted a large house for us all to stay in, in a central location in North Wales. After lots of searching we came across this house in Harlech. Its location was great, only a short walk from the railway station and close to a local shop and town centre. The house itself is very modern and has everything we could have wished for in the kitchen. There was also a pool table in the garage too! We had 2 guests who wanted to camp in the garden, and Clare was very accommodating with this too at a reasonable rate! It was great to meet Clare and easy to contact if we needed anything! A great host! Thanks very much. The only downside was the Wifi speed, which was very slow for the amount of people that was staying in the house. At times it was unusable, also considering there was little mobile phone reception in the area too. We would definatley stay here again! Thanks, Jack and guys from the South Devon Mini Railway.

Jack2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Claire's to enjoy a bit of post-Christmas peace and quiet and it did not disappoint :) Everything was just as we required and having the fire in the living room made it feel very homely and festive. It is only a short walk to the castle and a small stroll further to the beach - perfect!

Sharon2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Five friends and I stayed at this property last weekend and we have nothing but good things to say. From the outset the booking and communication with the Gary has been easy and straight forward. Upon arrival the property was spotless and exactly as described. There is a large lounge with three big sofas, TV, DVD player and Wii, along with a large dining room table. The kitchen has everything you’d expect with plenty of crockery and cutlery. There is also a utility room, toilet/showroom on the ground floor. The bedrooms are split over two parts of the house, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on one side, with another two bedrooms, bathroom and toilet on the other side. The sleeping arrangements are split over two double bedrooms, two rooms with 2 single beds and a side room with a bunk bed. This layout easily accommodated six male adults and at no point did we feel like we were falling over one another. Parking is fine, as there is a small drive which took two cars easily, a third would have been a push, but there is a small public car park across the road. Despite being on the main road into Harlech, you hardly notice the very limited amount of passing traffic. In terms of location the house is around a mile and a half from Harlech, which has some lovely sights, beaches and restaurants. If you’re going to head into town, I suggest driving as despite the walk able distance; there are no pavements so you have to walk in the road. And since they are narrow country roads, you get awfully cosy with any oncoming traffic. The parking costs in Harlech are reasonable and free after 6pm. This property is an ideal base for exploring Snowdonia and offers all the home comforts you would need. My friends and I would be more than happy to stay here again in the future.

Absolutely splendid panoramic views across the sea to the Llyn Peninsula and up into the heart of Snowdonia. But house cluttered and needs some refurbishment
I offer veg B&B in a domestic setting so no keys, with a warm welcome.
Harlech is a very small town famous for its castle, a World Heritage Site open daily. It is an excellent centre for walking and cycling.
Flexible on arrival and departure time 5 pm and 10 am when I can, but occasionally later arrival and early departure times.

Double room with double bed and shared bathroom has outstanding views of Cardigan Bay.
Your host is Martin. The house is was adapted for Martin's late wife who was a wheelchair user and so is suitable for some people with disabilities - including a stairlift -, who will be particularly welcome. The other member of our household is Misty, she is a delightful little dog (Papillon).
I'm at a great location inside the Snowdonia National Park for sightseeing, hiking, cycling etc.
Breakfast is included in the B&B price. Other meals may be provided by arrangement and also use of the kitchen, but please ask when you are booking so that we can agree. Please note that the kitchen is cluttered and needs some updating.
The accommodation is suitable for some wheelchair users, please check if you have any particular requirements.
Please note that the accommodation is dated and that I've only limited experience of providing accommodation. So please bear with me if you have any concerns and do let me know as soon as possible so that we can resolve them. For the same reason I'd rather start with shorter stays (but would be willing to discuss).

The name Harlech is said to come from 'hardd llech' meaning beautiful rock. Whatever the meaning it is a beautiful location with splendid views across Cardigan Bay and up into the heart of Snowdonia - on a fine day at least.
Harlech Castle is on of King Edward I's 'ring of steel' castles around North Wales. It is a recognised World Heritage Site together with the castles at Caernarfon, Beaumaris and Conwy. Well worth a visit. There are also prehistoric sites nearby, which I can show you.

Martin is a really nice guy and he has a lovely little dog called 'Misty' The property is on a quiet estate in a beautiful area and the living room had a wonderful balcony view over the bay. The bedroom was clean and very comfortable .

Graham2015-09-07T00:00:00Z

Martin was a very welcoming host who kindly offered the room very last minute due to a hostel cancellation. He also offered us a meal which was very generous of him, as he knew the distance we were travelling. (We had plans for the pub though). The room was simple and in a fantastic location of just being a 10 minute walk from the town and the amazing Castle (only a few quid to go in). However, if the house was generally in a better cleanliness state it would have been appreciated - especially in the communal areas which then made the bedroom feel like it was in a similar state.

Lucy2015-07-20T00:00:00Z

Martin is a very caring and supporting host. He was helpful with the leaflets and nearby hotels and places to visit. Room could be more better with cleaning, same with toilet.

Joseph2015-08-03T00:00:00Z

We slept at Martin's place for a night. Martin was very kind with us ! The room was clean, the bathroom as well. we had a great breakfast time with him and he did his best to make us confortable. We'll keep a fantastic memory of our visit.

Simon2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

Lovely and accommodating host, great location, and a very friendly dog

William2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Martin's home at Harlech for just one night but it was a wonderful stay. Martin is a great host such a lovely friendly person and is such a great person to chat with and learn from. We enjoyed the stay very much. A very nice house located just near the ocean with a beautiful morning ocean view and just with a beautiful castle nearby. We enjoyed meeting Martin very much and would definitely visit again if possibly, I would recommend a stay with Martin and his sweet little lovely dog :)

Tonya2015-09-27T00:00:00Z

Martin has been a perfect host. His house has a STUNNING view on an infinite beach and some mountains far away. You truly dominate the valley from up there.

Paul2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

The room is comfortable and the view from the lounge is stunning. One can easily access tourist attractions on foot. Martin is a very considerate and attentive host. We enjoyed our stay home.

A fantastic host and a comfortable caravan make this a must stay. Trevor was incredibly my

Natalee2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

The caravan was kept spotlessly clean, everything was as described and fitted our needs perfectly - we really appreciated being able to choose our own campsite and have everything set up and ready for us when we arrived.

The location of the caravan site is amazing. The cleanliness and facilities provided are great. Trevor was a really good and friendly host. Highly recommended.

Akshay2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

What a fab entrepreneurial idea. Loved it. Rocked up at the site, Trevor already there set up for us. Saved us loads of time and effort for our camping trip. We will definitely use again.

Terina2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Trevor is very friendly host, and quick to respond back for any help. Loved the stay here, this was first time experience for me to stay in caravan and we liked it. The most important thing is the place, unlike other places this is so calm and you feel close to nature. Perfect place for relaxing weekend.

36 Glan Gors is a non-smoking self catering apartment in the historic town of Harlech in the Snowdonia National Park. It sleeps up to 5 people. Sorry, but due to previous problems we no longer take bookings from young single sex groups & it is unsuitable for lively night owls.

Our ground floor apartment provides easy access ideal for those who are less mobile. The lounge/dining area has plenty of comfortable seating, freeview & freesat television with DVD. There is a small selection of videos, DVDs, books, cards, & board games. The fully equipped kitchen has an electric cooker, microwave, fridge & washing machine. We provide bed linen, towels & tea towels, but if you prefer to bring your own we will deduct 10% from the rental price. Please make a 'reservation enquiry' and not a 'reservation request' if you are planning to bring your own bed linen and towels as the system doesn't allow for offering the 10% discount when accepting a 'reservation request' - this discount has to be sent to you as a 'special offer'. We offer breaks from a minimum of 4 nights up to 3 weeks but do not do long term lets. Please check prices with us first, the automated system may not be correct. A discounted weekly price will be shown to you by the system. If you are interested in a 6 day break please send us a 'reservation enquiry' and not a 'reservation request' and we can send you the correct price via the 'special offer' option. Electricity is included in the cost of the rental.
We are happy to take a well behaved adult dog so long as the owners bring its own bed & don't allow it onto chairs or beds.
Normal arrival time is 3pm and departure time by 11am. If you need a later departure or earlier arrival we may be able to arrange this dependent on other bookings and the scheduling of cleaners by the cleaning company we use (they normally arrive shortly after the 11am departure time). Please contact us a few days before arrival & we will check if we are able to accommodate your request.

The area is excellent for walkers of all abilities, either in the heart of Snowdonia or on the Rhinogydd a few miles behind Harlech. For those wanting to tour and looking for a bit of history there are beautiful castles in the area including the nearby Harlech Castle.

Susan was very helpful with everything. The house was tidy and well equipped with all we needed. In terms of location, Harlech is indeed a good starting point for a many different tours in Snowdonia. Too bad we could not see anything from Snowdon when we reached the peak. Thanks Susan!

Daniel2015-05-05T00:00:00Z

Susan was very helpful and the apartment is exactly as described. A good place to explore the north of Wales. The only downside is the mould problem as was mentioned already by someone else.

This luxurious, detached cottage is located in lower Harlech, boasting views of the castle and the surrounding hills, with easy access to the superb beaches peppered along this picturesque part of the North West Wales coastline.

The cottage has been beautifully designed by the owners to provide a quality-furnished, stylish holiday base, perfect for a get-together with friends and family. This fabulous Harlech cottage has five generously-sized bedrooms, including two king-size double rooms with en-suite facilities, a further family bathroom, and a ground floor utility room with a WC. Let your cookery skills run free in the superbly-equipped kitchen, while the family relax in the comfy seating area and keep you company.
Outside this Harlech cottage, the rear garden is private and enclosed, a great place to let the kids run around enjoy the fresh sea air! Unwind and enjoy the superb, uninterrupted views leading up to the Harlech Castle and Moel-Y-Gerddi.

Situated in a magnificent position between the mountains and the sea, the delightful small town of Harlech is dominated by its majestic 13th century castle. Harlech Castle is recognised as the most impressive of all those built in North Wales by Edward I and has World Heritage status. The town is very popular with golfers, who come to enjoy the famous Royal St. Davids course, whilst the beautiful sandy beach is wonderful for family fun and long walks. Harlech offers an excellent variety of amenities including some good quality restaurants, whilst the whole of the Snowdonia National Park, together with the sandy beaches of Cardigan Bay, are all within easy reach.

What a wonderful week in Harlech! I spent 4 days at Cefnfor Awel, the house was in a very peaceful spot just a short stroll from Harlech beach and the town centre - perfect for winding down surrounded by the beautiful Welsh countryside. The house was in immaculate condition, all appliances straightforward to use and everything you could possibly need or forgotten at home was provided. The best part for me personally was the living space that Cefnfor Awel offered. The spacious dining and living area allowed for evenings of food around the table and sharing company with others - perfect for groups of friends or larger families. Communication with the host was also easy and quick with responses to any queries - leaving me with peace of mind throughout my trip. I would definitely return and recommend this house.

Sara2016-07-15T00:00:00Z

Sharon was an excellent host with clear communication prior to our arrival. Her place was warm comfortable and clean. Would highly recommend staying here when in Snowdonia as it is located in a beautiful town with easy access to the best parts of Snowdonia.

Phillip2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Great house for friends and family, more than enough room with everything you need. Recommend eating at The Branwen hotel close by, great food!

Charlotte2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

Lovely house. stayed with adult children and their partners. 10 of us in total and there was plenty of room. There are three double and two twin rooms, all immaculate. Weather was great when we were there. So we got the chance to spend an evening on the lovely Harlech beach. It's not far from slate mines which is where we spent two of our days doing amazing zip wires. Great comms from owner. Highly recommend.

Neil2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

This was a lovely cottage, very clean, warm, cosy and spacious. The cottage is in a lovely location, 5 minute walk away from the castle and a 15 minute walk away from the beach with a spar and a premier grocery shop nearby. The cottage is easy to locate and well equipped with all the kitchen utensils, towels and a strong WiFi signal. I hope to visit again soon and highly recommend it. Thank you Sharon.

From the moment we enquirer about the property to the day we arrived Sharon was brilliant, provided all the details we needed. The house was fantastic- clean and well presented- a great size and a fabulous location. Being able to see the castle from one side and the hills and mountains from the other side was amazing. We had a drive out one of the days and the other day we walked to the castle and then to the beach. We loved Harlech and the surrounding areas and hope tO return to this wonderful house soon.

Nicola2016-10-25T00:00:00Z

We had such a fantastic stay at the cottage in Harlech! It was the perfect size for a larger group! The cottage is in a great location to walk into Harlech and to the beach. Sharon was a brilliant host, she even managed to get someone out to us on New Year's Eve when we needed some help finding the fuse box! The house itself is lovely, spacious and all the rooms are clean, well decorated and comfortable. We would love to visit again!

Glorious views from a beautiful old Arts & Crafts house 260 feet above the sea in Snowdonia National Park. Bookings run from 16:00 Sunday to 11:00 the following Sunday.

Murmur-y-Don sleeps seven, in three double bedrooms and one single bedroom. All bedrooms have a washhandbasin and sea views.
There is a bathroom upstairs, with the huge original 1907 cast-iron bath, and a shower room downstairs with a modern Aqualisa rainwater shower.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a Firebird (like an Aga but smarter), an electric oven, a microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, toaster, Dolce Gusto espresso machine and a walk-in larder.
There is free fibre-optic wi-fi broadband. Because the walls of the house are three feet thick, its range is limited — it won’t work in the kitchen, for example.
The solid oak-floored drawing room is L-shaped and has an HD TV with a DVD player. Off the drawing room is the Round Window, a circular room to take advantage of the spectacular views. It has 108 panes of glass, each one hand curved so the horizon isn’t refracted. Think of a pencil in a glass of water.

Harlech i
s a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site with probably the most famous castle in Wales. As well as its history and heritage, Snowdonia is the thrill addicts' mecca in Europe, with the famous Zip Wire and Bounce Below just up the road. One of the best golf links in Britain is less than a mile away.

We were so impressed with how lovely, big and comfortable this house is. It was a perfect family get away spot, even at the end of January - as we were able to watch storms blow in over the beach and the Llyn peninsula from the breakfast room. The house manual was excellent, and we enjoyed reading about the history of the house and the rooms. Gwyn happily answered all our questions. It's in a great location with access to the beach below via a footpath and much of Snowdonia being within driving distance. We look forward to returning.

Dirk2016-01-31T00:00:00Z

Great location with fabulous views of the beach and surroundings! Gwyn was a lovely host who provided all info prior to our stay and was always available to contact t during our stay. We were 2 young families (4 adults & 4 children under 4) and found the place to be substantial with lots of space! Would highly recommend to all.

Lilly2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

This house has one of the finest views in Wales out across beautiful Cardigan Bay to the mountains beyond. We could even see Snowdon. Two of the bedrooms share a terrace with the same magnificent view. Though close to the road the main sounds we heard were waves on the shore and birdsong. The house itself is full of charm and character. Arts and crafts style and comfortable. The house manual has instructions for all appliances as well as a history of the house which was all very informative. Gwyn's communication was excellent throughout and, though we didn't need to contact him during the stay, we felt that he would have immediately responded if we had. Overall we had a truly wonderful stay at Murmur-y-Don and would definitely recommend it. We hope to return again.

Kate2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

A stunning house with bounteous character and fascinating family history. Very comfortable and charming. Exquisite views through every window. great position for local sights of interest and incredible scenery. A very special place....you couldn't fail to have a fabulous time here!

Helen2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Murmur-y-Don is in a stunning location; a practically deserted, beautifully flat and sandy beach at the bottom of the cliff, a remarkably well-preserved castle practically next door, and a charming little town around it. We loved the circular dining room, so full of light, and eating there with stunning sunsets as our backdrop. We had 5 days of unbroken sunshine, which meant lots of beach walking and making full use of the garden. On our second day the upstairs loo began leaking quite heavily; one quick call to Gwyn and this was fixed within the hour - brilliant. Gwyn's house manual is a good read, amusing and informative. The house was a brilliant size for our group (6 of us) - just a lovely holiday in a lovely place.

colin2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Great house in a beautiful location. Very considerate hosts. We'll be back.

Sabine2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

We had a really lovely stay at an old, beautiful house with lots of character and history - and it was a real 'home from home'. The view was amazing, and the walks along the beach were lovely. There is lots to do in the area, even when the weather isn't kind! We would love to come back again.

This is an absolutely top-class location for a quiet getaway or a large family gathering, with one of the finest sunset views ever. You can get into a huge range of local activities in Snowdonia, or simply enjoy the elegant and peaceful atmosphere of the house itself.

The feedback we get again and again is how unusually welcoming and home-like the house is. Recently upgraded, there are hundreds of details and personal touches that make this an exceptional place to stay with plenty of space for your whole group, ample bathrooms, drying area, big kitchen (hand made in Canadian maple), large elegant dining room, a media room with a big screen for films, and a peaceful sitting room with an open fire and the stunning views over the sea to the Llyn Peninsula mountains. One wing of the house is perfect for a family having its own kitchenette and bathroom along with two bedrooms.
Loads of bathrooms and unlimited hot water.
The kitchen is beautifully designed with masses of room for multi-chef prepping as well as hanging out, a high-spec range cooker plus a second oven and a microwave, great coffee machine etc…
The brand new spa facility includes a sauna built from the finest aged Finnish pine, chill-out area with its own kitchen, outdoor hot tub, barbecue and pizza oven, fire pit etc for outdoor feasts!
Large private and secluded gardens, including woodland areas with some great climbing trees, as well as a log cabin for table tennis, pool, darts and table football.
The National Trust said this would be “one of their finest properties in Wales”, but we couldn’t let it go, deciding instead to create the most wonderful holiday home we could imagine; so here it is! We hope you love it as much as we do.

The beach is fab! 10 minute walk 'down the zig-zag', then 4 miles of wide sand and dunes, rock pools, safe swimming, and perfect for kite boarding.
Just one mile to the north is Harlech with its famous castle, restaurants, shops, theatre/cinema, and world-class golf course.
Within a short car ride you can find Europe's largest zip-wire, award-winning slate caverns, horse riding, canoeing and boating, as well as of course outstanding hiking and climbing in the mountains which are totally magical with many areas that are easy to get off the beaten track to find yourself in wild secluded valleys with ancient oak forests, hidden lakes, and peaks roamed by wild goats more than humans.

Beautiful house in lovely setting. easy access to beach. accommodation very high standard. house beautifully decorated and furnished. light, spacious and excellent kitchen. fresh flowers in day rooms was a lovely addition. great set up for friends and family groups of all ages.

Great house with absolutely beautiful views! Linda was very helpful and accommodating and they left us two bottles of wine and cake which was a lovely touch and which we thoroughly enjoyed. I definitely recommend this property!
